The Current Energy Landscape

The current energy landscape critics traditional energy retailers for their lack of adaptability and limited rewards for consumers using home renewables. Buying low and selling high, big energy companies profit from pricey fixed rates even when cheaper renewables are available at wholesale.

The Dynamic Duo in Action

The Amber SmartShift™ plan, when used with the Alpha ESS battery, optimises energy usage by automatically adjusting battery operation based on real-time energy market prices. You can also strategically control when you export, store or use your stored solar power based on your needs. When prices are low you can top up your battery with grid power if you need it, and export to the grid when energy is in demand and FiT prices are high.

This strategy not only reduces electricity costs but also maximises earnings from feed-in tariffs (FiTs) by exporting energy when prices are favourable. Essentially, it enhances the financial investment of solar and battery systems.

Take it from Pete, a SmartShift user!

"Since integrating Amber SmartShift with our Alpha ESS battery, we've seen major savings, with last month's bill costing just $33. Its efficiency and real-time control are outstanding. I’ve seen FiTs reach up to $15 per kWh at times. It’s significantly enhanced how we use our solar energy and we're excited to optimise the features further, especially during periods of high FiTs"
